The next Supreme Court justice a Demoncratic president will choose will be another Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, or Elena Kagan. If that person replaces any one of the five who voted for the 2nd Amendment, we can kiss our guns goodbye.
That is what this election is about.
Past performance does not guarantee future results.

John Roberts should be a quick confirm.
In 1995, while clerking for Chief Justice William Rehnquist, I and my two fellow law clerks asked the chief whom he thought was the best Supreme Court lawyer currently practicing. The chief replied, with a twinkle in his eye, that he thought he could probably get a majority of his colleagues to agree that John Roberts was the best Supreme Court advocate in the nation. This week, the president announced his intention to nominate John Roberts to be a Supreme Court justice.

In November of 2000, I had spent the past year and half as domestic-policy adviser on the Bush campaign, and was part of the team assembling the lawyers to help litigate Bush v. Gore. We needed the very best lawyers in the country, and I called John and asked him to help. Within hours, he was on a plane to Florida.

As an individual, John Roberts is undoubtedly a principled conservative, as is the president who appointed him. He clerked for Chief Justice Rehnquist, worked in the Reagan White House, and served as the principal deputy solicitor general in President George H.W. Bush’s Justice Department. But, as a jurist, Judge Roberts’ approach will be that of his entire career: carefully, faithfully applying the Constitution and legal precedent.
